BBC Test Match SpecialBit of a contrast to Zimbabwe, they took 14 off their opening over!

Former Australia bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's been an exciting first over. It's decent pace from Ngarava, and he's had a few plays and misses.
A pleasing start for Zimbabwe.

Target 131
Zimbabwe will be happy with that start from Ngarava as he goes past Babar Azam's edge a couple of times, angling the ball across the right-hander.
The Pakistan captain is still looking for his first run in the tournament.

Former Australia bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialYou can't give either Babar or Rizwan any width. Zimbabwe have got to keep attacking the stumps because it's a good pitch, and anything wide will come on to the bat nicely.

Target 131
Good start from Ngarava. The left-arm seamer gets a little bit of nip off the seam, back into Rizwan first up and then cramps the batter for room with a bumper.
Rizwan flaps it away, just clear of the fielder on the leg side for a single.

Here we go then, the players are back out. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan opening up for Pakistan and Richard Ngarava has the ball in hand for Zimbabwe.

BBC Test Match SpecialI think Babar and Rizwan will go for it pretty hard. They've lost a game already so will want to boost their net run-rate to give themselves the best chance, it can be so important.

Thanks, Callum.
Zimbabwe have given their bowlers something to try and defend at least. But it looked like it could have been so much more after the openers got them off to a flyer.
Pakistan came roaring back though and, as Callum says, you'd expect them to knock these runs off pretty comfortably.

You'd expect Pakistan to chase 131 with ease, but we know cricket can be a funny game.
Sam Drury will talk you through it.

Former Zimbabwe batter on BBC Test Match SpecialPakistan improved their bowling lengths but I think the communication between the Zimbabwe batters could have been better. The running between the wickets was excellent but they lacked a bit of intent through the middle overs.

Pakistan leg-spinner Shadab Khan to Sky Sports: "It was a brilliant catch from Babar Azam. I didn't expect it because these days he's missing catches but it was stunning.
"I tried to bowl a little bit slower because it was spinning then but I tried to mix it up.
"We know we have the best bowling unit in the World Cup so we're trying to maximise that and minimise the total they can get."

A decent last over, with 10 added.
Mohammad Wasim finishes with 4-24 from his four overs. A fine effort.

Evans b M Wasim 19 (Zim 126-8)
Immediate revenge.
Full, straight, crashing into middle stump. Brad Evans is just beaten for pace and he becomes Mohammad Wasim's fourth wicket.
He's got three balls to get his five-wicket haul.

Oh, shotttt!
Brad Evans stands still and tall and whacks a slower ball from Mohammad Wasim over long-on for six.
Superb shot.

Former Zimbabwe batter on BBC Test Match SpecialHopefully Zimbabwe can get 10 or so from this over and give themselves a total to defend. If you can get a couple of early wickets then you never know.

BBC Test Match SpecialThat is sensational from Rauf.
Zim 120-7published at 19 overs
Haris Rauf finishes with 1-12 from his four overs. That's pretty special.
He bowled 15 dot balls too. That's an indication of how Zimbabwe have struggled.
Six balls to go. Can Zimbabwe get up to 130 minimum?
